Kuala Lumpur



See The Evolving Urban Form: Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur has an urban area of about 6.6 million residents. "According to the most recent Brookings Global Metro Monitor, Kuala Lumpur has gross domestic product per capita of $23,900 annually (based on purchasing power). This is higher than all metropolitan economies in Latin America other than Brasilia, Monterrey and Buenos Aires. If Kuala Lumpur were in China, it would rank in the top quarter of the richest per capita metropolitan economies."

In my last ranking, I put it as #162, based on an estimated GDP of $63 billion/year.  It's ratio of GDP/PP to GDP/actual is about 1.6.  So maybe its GDP is about $100 billion/year.
